QUEEN Members Launch 'Stormtroopers In Stilettos' Exhibition In London (Video)

February 26, 2011

According to BBC News, QUEEN members Roger Taylor and Brian May have opened a new London exhibition to mark the rock band's 40th anniversary.

"Stormtroopers In Stilettos" runs until 12 March at the Old Truman Brewery in east London, England. The free exhibition takes a comprehensive look at the early part of QUEEN's career, from before the band’s formation in 1971 when various bandmembers were dreaming of success while studying astrophysics or running stalls next to Biba in Kensington Market, right up to their spectacular free gig for over 250,000 fans in Hyde Park in 1976.

"There are things I have forgotten," Taylor told BBC News at the launch of "Stormtroopers In Stilettos".

The musician added that many of the exhibits reminded him of the band's late frontman Freddie Mercury.

"It's quite shocking for us to suddenly bring back what happened all those years ago in such vivid detail," said Taylor.
